So I finished Pod (the dolphin book). I still don’t know what point(s) it was trying to make. We shouldn’t oppress other cultures? Egalitarian societies are better than patriarchies? Humans are evil and destroying the oceans? Gender fluidity/change is cool and natural? I really felt that the two misunderstood loner dolphins meeting and instantly falling in love despite being different species was a bit ick. Also I was annoyed that it didn’t really have an ending, just the pod swimming off to new waters, presumably as a set up for book 2. I’m glad I finished it but I only award it ⭐⭐⭐

@purplepadma so, would say it’s worth reading through, or is it a sort of modernised cliché of a romance? just searching for some new books to read myself

@aryandixit It’s more a modernised cliche of some sort of ecological parable. I wouldn’t spend my money on it if I had my time again
